Univet 5.0: Revolutionizing Industrial Safety with Augmented Reality

Designer Fabio Borsani's Award-Winning Safety Smart Glasses

What sets Univet 5.0 apart is its unique combination of safety and technology. It is a pair of safety glasses that is light, comfortable, and safe, equipped with holographic waveguide technology for a comprehensive augmented reality experience. The glasses are designed to comply with EN 166 and ANSI safety standards and can be worn over prescription glasses. The glasses provide monochromatic information with a monocular projection system that can be adjusted to fit various pupillary distances and application needs.

The design of Univet 5.0 was inspired by a protective goggle from the Univet portfolio, the 6X3, which is known for its superior comfort, excellent wearability, and panoramic lens. The 6X3's unique features, including its indirect ventilation system and compatibility with half masks, were incorporated into the design of Univet 5.0, creating a pair of smart glasses that are not only technologically advanced but also comfortable and safe to wear.

The realization of Univet 5.0 was made possible by the use of cutting-edge materials and construction techniques. The glasses are made with Grilamid TR90 LXS, a material known for its chemical resistance, excellent twist modulus, and low specific weight. This material guarantees the product's reliability and resistance, even with reduced sections. The design also takes into account the weight balance, with part of the electronics and the viewing module placed on one side of the product. The adjustable nose allows for a balanced distribution of weight on the head, ensuring comfort and portability.

Univet 5.0 is not just a pair of safety glasses; it is a wearable technological device that can add information to what the human eye can see. The glasses can drive information in the user's visual field more efficiently than other devices, such as smartphones and tablets. The glasses are equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion Small Battery and can be fitted with additional optional items such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, ambient light sensor, vibration motor, camera, touch panel, status LED, and additional sensors.

Univet 5.0 represents a significant step forward in the field of personal protective equipment. It is a testament to the power of design and technology to improve safety and efficiency in the industrial and professional world. With its unique combination of safety and augmented reality, Univet 5.0 is truly a game-changer.
